Day 7: Tokyo and Roppongi

August 15, 2009

Posted in: Japan, Vacation

This post will have more pictures than before.  Not crazy lot, but a bit more.  I hope you really look at my sexy pictures.  I took them with effort and posted them up for you guys.  You better not skim all the way down just like how I do for your posts.

Today I went to a couple locations.  Man, I really planned my schedule pretty short.  I go through things FAST.   That is exactly how I get across Tokyo.  Waiting for the lights takes forever!  I am like already walking across when the other lights turn yellow.   I don’t have patience now.

Today was a nice day.  It was sunny, and the sky was clear!  In addition, I didn’t even sweat that much.

First stop is the Imperial Palace.  The place is beautiful with lots of historical sites.

When you enter, you have to get an admission pass.  I don’t know why because it is free to go in.  I didn’t know you have to get one, so when I was about to walk over the short barriers, they called me over.

Small museum.  Nice checkpoint before walking around the palace.

I like approaching other gaijins and talk with a heavy Chinese accent.

Second stop is Tokyo Tower.  Before that I walked around the shrine.

When I head out in the morning, I fill up my water bottle.  All the time in the middle of the day, I need to buy another drink to refill it.  I always buy a 1L drink.  It is the bang for the 105 yen.  Other drinks that comes with a bottle are at least 140 yen, and those are less in quantity.

The street heading to the shrine.

ok, now is Tokyo Tower.

The mascot for Tokyo Tower is a Cone Head!

There was a huge line to go up and another huge line to go back down.

Below Tokyo Tower there are 4 floors of entertainment and food.

I had lunch at “Tokyo Curry Lab”, which is famous for it’s curry.   OMG, it is SOOO good.

After I finished lunch, I was on my way to my last stop, Roppongi Hills in Roppongi.

For the first time I used the Tokyo Metro line.

On my way to Roppongi Hills.

I bought milk at the milk bar since my friend told me it is very good.  It is pretty good, it tastes like milk.  I will keep the glass bottle as souvenir.

Basically Roppongi Hills is a bunch of EXPENSIVE stores.

I finsihed quite early today.   To kill some time, I went to Akihabara and bought some anime figures.

I only have 2 full days left and I am already missing Japan.  I don’t mind going to Taiwan, but I don’t want to go to China.   I think my few days of Japan is good enough as my whole vacation.  I experienced a lot, and I’m ready to go home.

I didn’t spend a lot in Japan.  Well, I still have 2 more days, anything can happen.
